6 Room Air Conditioner

BeforeOperation

1. Plug in the power plug properly.

2. Use a dedicated circuit. Overloading the line could create a fire hazard.

3. Do not use an extension cord. See page 11 for more details.

4. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.

5. If the power cord is damaged and requires replacement, have an Authorized

Servicer install an exact replacement part.

1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be

hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct

airflow for extended periods of time.

2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used

together with stoves or other heating devices.

3. Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g.

preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage

could damage the items.

4. The air conditioner is a consumer comfort appliance, not a precision climate

control system.

1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can

occur when handling sharp metal edges.

2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can

destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned

off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a

possibility of injury if the unit's power is accidentally triggered on while

cleaning inner parts of the unit.

For repair and maintenance, contact an Authorized Service Center. See the

warranty page for details or call (800) 243-0000. Have your model number and

serial number available. They should be written on page 2 of this manual.

All wiring should be made in accordance with

local electrical codes and regulations.

Aluminum house wiring may pose special

problems. Consult a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on

its power supply cord, which must be plugged into

properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for

your protection against possible shock hazard.

230, 208, and 2301208 VOLT UNITS

These units are equipped with a three-prong

grounding plug on the power supply cord, which

must be plugged into a matching properly grounded

three-prong wall receptacle for your protection

against possible shock hazard. If such an outlet is

not present, one must be installed by a qualified

electrician in accordance with the National Electrical

Code and local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD on 230,

208, and 230/208 Volt units.

Owner's Manual 9

ElectricalSafety

WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug.

To minimize the risk of electric shock, use the plug with a standard three-slot

grounding wall power outlet. If the power outlet does not include a grounding slot,

have a qualified electrician replace the outlet before you use the room air

conditioner.

WARNING: Changing the outlet without making the appropriate wiring

changes will create an unsafe condition that could result in fire or

electrical shock. Refer all such work to a licensed and qualified

electrician.

Preferred method

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

WARNING: Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power

plug.

&

WARNING: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall

receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is

grounded through the house wiring.

WARNING: If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is

properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician.

10 Room Air Conditioner

ElectricalSafety

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards.

For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most

local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with

the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.

To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid

damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as

this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

Drain Pipe

In humid weather, excess water may

cause the Base Pan to overflow. To

drain the water, remove the Drain Cap

and secure the Drain Pipe to the rear

Press the drain pipe into the hole by

pushing down and away from the fins

to avoid injury.

This air conditioner is equipped with a

slinger fan. (See drawing, below.)

The fan has an outer ring that runs in

the water that collects in the base pan

if it gets deep. That condensate is then

picked up by the fan and expelled

through the condenser, making the air

conditioner more efficient.

simple step will save you much cleaning and make a safer work environment.

Owner's Manual 19

Maintenance and Service

Air Filter

Check the air filter at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped

particles in the filter can build up and block the airflow, reducing cooling capacity

and causing an accumulation of frost on the evaporator. To clean the air filter:

1. Remove the air filter from the front grille by lifting the air filter up.

2. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40 °C (104 °F).

3. Gently shake the excess water from the filter and replace.

Cleaning The Air Conditioner

The front grille and Inlet grille may be

wiped with a cloth dampened in a mild

detergent solution.

The cabinet may be washed with mild

soap or detergent and lukewarm

water, then polished with Liquid Wax

for Appliances.

To ensure continued peak efficiency,

the condenser coils (outside of unit)

should be checked periodically and

cleaned if clogged with soot or dirt

from the atmosphere.

• HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT GRILLE

1. Remove the screws securing the Front Grille.

2. Push the grille up from the bottom and pull

the top of the grille away from the case as

the top tabs lift out of their slots.

MaintenanceandService

Before Calling for Service

If you have problems with your air conditioner, read the following information and

try to solve the problem. If you cannot find a solution, turn off the air conditioner

and contact your dealer.

Air conditioner does not operate

1. Ensure that the air conditioner is plugged into a proper outlet.

2. Check the fuse or circuit breaker.

3. Check whether the voltage is unusually high or low.

Air does not feel cold enough on the cooling setting

1. Ensure that the temperature settings are correct.

2. Check to see if the air filter is clogged with dust. If so, clean the filter.

3. Ensure that the air flow from the outside is not obstructed and that there is a

clearance of over 20" between the back of the air conditioner and the wall or

fence behind it.

4. Close all doors and windows and check for any source of heat in the room.

Before calling for service, please review the following list of common

problems and solutions.

The air conditioner is operating normally when:

• You hear a pinging noise. This is caused by water being picked up by the fan on

rainy days or in highly humid conditions. This feature is designed to help remove

moisture in the air and improve cooling efficiency.

See the section on Slinger Fan, page 19.

• You hear the thermostat click. This is caused by the compressor cycle starting

and stopping.

• You see water dripping from the rear of the unit. Water may be collected in the

base pan in highly humid conditions or on rainy days. This water overflows and

drips from the rear of the unit.

• You hear the fan running while the compressor is silent. This is a normal

operational feature.
